Friendzoned

Six: But the truth is...they're right

But the truth is...they're right   

***Joseph***

The unknown girl dressed in a plain white t-shirt and black tights, her jacket wrapped around her waist, flying and flapping around as she ran with me, away from the cheerleaders.

Away as fast as our legs could carry us.

So let's rewind a little shall we?

I was hiding out in the janitor's closet after lunch, because there were jocks around so go figure.

The janitor's closet was my best bet considering those kids wouldn't dare step a foot in this stinkin closet.

A bad reputation is what they fear most, even worse, no reputation at all.

I don't get what the deal is with these kids. No one should be abiding to their rules or whatever when it isn't good or when they're not authorized to.

Jeez.

While I was hiding in the closet, I heard footsteps and people running, the sounds getting closer and closer, so close until the very door leading into the closet, which I was in opened.

And in came this beautiful stranger.

And here we are now as well, being chased.

Oh man...

"Hey, hurry up would ya? Chem is right around the corner, get ready to turn." the girl informed me in a rather rude tone.

"Alright alright. You can stop running now cheetah, they're not after us anymore." I rolled my eyes and shrugged.

"Never underestimate cheerleaders genius. They're not to be taken lightly." she replied calmly, her footsteps slowing down to a walk.

"Yeah..okay." I agreed, almost inaudibly.

Well isn't this awkward?

I don't even know this girl....I don't even know her name.

For some reason, I find myself admiring her.

For some reason, I find myself attracted to her.

For some reason, I find myself wanting to know who she is, I find myself wanting to know her better.

For some reason, I find myself wanting to be friends with her.

All these feelings I feel towards her, feels incredibly strange and different.

I don't even know what to think about all this.

Still deep in my thoughts, I was oblivious to the fact that we have arrived at class.

My mind was in a whole different world, and my body was in it's own different world.

"Hey, hey genius, we're here. Wanna sit with me?"

"Uh...yeah sure, thanks."

"What's up with you genius? You're so lost and deep in your thoughts right now." she queried, giving me a confused look, hey eyebrows raised.

"Sorry about that..." I replied, awkwardly fiddling with my thumbs.

I looked straight ahead after that, taking my notebooks and supplies out. I really didn't like the awkward and silent atmosphere between us. Shaking my head, I payed no more attention to that matter and focused on the task at hand.

Our chemistry teacher came in right on time before the girl could say another word.

"Alright class, get your textbooks and notebooks out, today. We're going to learn about Valency. What is valency? Does anyone know?"

I raised my hand immediately, I knew the answer to that. Piece of cake.

"Oh yes dear, please stand and tell the class what is valency." Teacher Auburn urged.

I pushed my chair back, but so did the girl.

Our chairs pushed back, hitting the table behind us.

I stood up, but so did the girl.

Our heads tilted up in synchronization, ready to answer our teacher.

"I don't think you're a girl nerd! Unless you are inside?" a familiar voice, shouted from the back of the class.

Flinching, I shook my head and ignored him.

"Go ahead love. You tell them what valency means." I said wearily.

The girl flashed me a sad smile and proceeded into telling the meaning.

This is ridiculously unmanly of me to feel affected and sad about all the bullies bullying me but honestly, it does affect me. It makes me feel like crying.

Again...extremely unmanly and weird of me...but I've had to go through this ever since I was in kindi.

During my primary school years, I've had to wear glasses at the age of seven.

Read too much books, the veins in my eyes were way too strained.

I would read any book I could lay a hand on and read for hours non-stop.

In fact, the times where phones were a big hit in school for kids to long for. I stuck faithfully with my books. I have a phone now, but I sure don't use it much.

Kids would bully me, tell me I was worthless, always got my nose stuck in my books.

They would tell me my eyes were terrible, they would taunt me, they would pick on me.

Every single freaking day I would have to deal with that.

Some of them would even have the guts to say I would go blind.

And that sucks. I love my books. Is it wrong for a guy to love reading books?!

To love and appreciate education?!

Is it wrong to always wanting to learn new things and helping people out?!

Is it wrong?!?!

But the truth is....they're right.

I will go blind...

All because of this condition I got when I started reading books.

When I started touching them.

When I started begging my parents to buy me more books.

It's hard to keep all this in...it really is. But it's not like anyone would bother listening to me talk even.

All these walls I build up, they seem to break or chip slowly everyday.
